This dock uses whatever USB charger you have, the dock simply holds the wire in the right place, it comes with a USB cable NOT a charger, the wire goes straight to your phone, it will charge exactly the same as without the dock. Regardless of what people may have reported I tested the ibolt/Verizon dock for 5 hours and it would not charge at all with a 1A charger as long as the screen was on, even at 10% with NOTHING else on or running but battery monitor widget.

If you read the review or look closely at the picture this is with the screen at 100%, GPS, 4g, wifi on, navigator and Pandora running with live wallpaper and media volume at Max outputting through the headphone Jack. The Verizon dock with the same 1a charger would be at atleast -500mA in the same situation. This dock will perform exactly the same as whatever charger you plug the USB cord into.

Watch the video.

Nice review, thanks for the write up and good pics. Is it mounted using that sticky foam tape where you have it under the vent? How much flat area does it need for the tape? Want to check where I might put it in my car.

Do you know if you can easily remove any residue if you later take it off? I'm not planning on selling my car any time soon and had my last phone for 4 years so it may be up there a while.
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
The mounting block is pretty small I would say 1"x3" at most.

I havent removed it so I dont know for sure about the residue, the video says it comes off well and when you look at the tape it seems like it would come off, its not gooey or anything so I imagine it will stay in one piece when it comes off unless maybe it gets really hot and melts down which of course is possible in a car. If I had to make a guess I would say it will come off pretty clean.
[HTC Rezound] craigsdocks:
Hello Everyone,

First of all I would like to thank Kane for the great review!

The mounting block is 1 inch x 1-3/4 inch exactly ... its very small

The mounting tape stays somewhat soft, but not overly soft, in the video of my install you will see that I do take it off and peel it pretty much clean, then with a fingernail the rest comes off, that was after it had been on my dash for about 2 months, however if it were to tough to get it all you could heat it up with a hair dryer and pick it off with a fingernail but I don't think this step would be needed.

If you weren't ever going to want to flip the phone from landscape to portait you could even take the block and the screw out all together and put the extra tape I give you on the back of the dock itself and use the same amount of tape I used on the docking plate.

These car docks I make are time consuming to produce, these are all made by hand and on a milling machine so they are all within 1/1,000 of an inch of each other, I made them as tiny as I could possibly make them without compromising its holding ability.

My thoughts were if its in the car you dont want to be looking at some giant dock blocking your windshield or if mounted on dash have it blocking other controls, basically you want to see the phone not a dock so I tried to make it basically invisible.

Its easy to make things big, the challenge is making big things small lol
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Thanks for the info!

I just looked at my car and I think there's one place it could work, right above the built in stereo/navi screen. Just curious how far it sticks out? Also, it's stationary other than rotating from landscape to portrait, right? So does it come straight out at a 90 degree angle from the mount surface of the dash? I've never used a dock before so I want to be sure I'll be okay with it.

Oh, one more thing... does the phone touch metal or is there any sort of material in there? If it touches metal would it be possible for me to glue on some felt lining? I may not use a case with my phone so I want to save it from any possible scuffing.
[HTC Rezound] craigsdocks:
Hello,

The total distance it sticks out would be 2 1/4 inches max thats with mounting plate and swivel attached, from the dash to the back of the dock itself is a little less than 3/4 of an inch.

However your dash leans once the dock is mounted thats the exact way it would lean its a perfect 90 degree's (basically if your dash leans back at 45 degree's then your phone would lean that exact same degree since its a perfect 90)... since this dock with its mounting plate and swivel sticks out, it may be possible for it to hover over controls that dont stick out to far, like in the video I have a raised part on my dash and it hovers over it, once you have it in hand you will find places you didn't think it would fit.

Your phone never touches metal, I use a automotive grade flocking fibers (this is on the dock and the arms as well, nothing without this flocking ever touches your phone).

Whats flocking? ... I put on a special adhesive and then blow on soft flocking fibers, it actually looks like it grew out of the metal, I use this on all my docks, none of my docks will the phone ever touch metal, they always ride on the flocking.

If you look at the second picture on this thread (the side view one) you will be able to see these flocking fibers, only where your phone would ever touch the fibers are used, the rest is painted and smooth.

Thanks for the Question's
[HTC Rezound] Ravaloft:
Cool. I am definitely going to check this out. Thank you for the great write up, pictures and review.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I have the same dock and am real happy with it except for one thing. I hook it up with the MHL HDMI adaptor to a video monitor screen and even using the stock a/c charger (I have a/c power in my truck) that puts out one amp, my battery still eventually runs down playing movies etc.

The bracket itself is awesome.

[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Ordered April 12th, received today in the mail. Have not mounted it yet, but I'm impressed with the build quality so far. I'll update after installation.

EDIT: Now have this dock installed in my Yukon and it was very simple. A few adjustments, finding the right place to put it were easy. The included tape to stick it on the dash is plenty strong and holding very well after 2 whole days. The phone, with the extended battery, fits solid if you do the proper adjustments during setup, and hasn't even thought about falling out of the dock yet. I am happy with this purchase for now.
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
That sucks but it would be much worse with the verizon dock. On the same note Craigsdocks just sent me a "new improved cable" for free without even telling me, its a much heavier gauge wire it has some sort DIY splice at the end of it. Anyway my generic 1a car charger now charges better than the home charger that came with the phone. No exaggeration whatsoever, battery monitor widget has shown 1090mA while the screen was on. Not a typo 100%+ the rating of my charger is getting to my phone, I was running 4g, GPS, wifi on, screen at 90%, Pandora playing full volume, navigation searching for satellite, and syncing my accounts and I'm still getting between 300-500mA recorded charge. I literally CANT get anything real sustained readings under 300mA. I have heard even the stock wall charger can't keep up with MHL but I kid you not my crappy generic car charger is now more powerful than the home charger. Oh and it puts the phone in dock mode now, and shows charging in ac mode but I'm sure the old cable did too, not that it matters what mode it is if you are getting that kind of juice, call it USBeautiful mode.

Maybe they sent me the cable because I gave a good review or maybe they are sending them to everyone, BUT GET ONE even if its for another dock or just a charger.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Well three things, his post is from Jan, the MHL adapter wouldn't work on the Verizon dock because it doesn't pass data and the dock has been fixed so it charges correctly now.

The reason the battery dies with the MHL adapter is the same reason the first round of Verizon docks didn't charge right, the data pins aren't shorted out so the phone thinks it's on a USB connection and only draws 500mA. The MHL can't be shorted out because it needs the data pins to transfer audio/video so there's really not much you can do about it. ibolt has update the Verizon dock to short the pins, the free replacement they sent me has no problem running GPS and music and still charge..
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
how secure is it with the extended battery? meaning, will it keep the phone in place just fine without worrying if it'll slip off if you're on a rough road/speed bumps/etc?
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
I don't have the extended battery but I have a regular tpu case on the phone and there is plenty of room left for a larger setup. It does not move period the way I have it I can't imagine it would be much different with the extended battery.
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
I have extended and it works just wonderfully. Has not fallen out yet.
[HTC Rezound] TunedReference:
Thanks, I'm interested in one of these. Better than holding the phone while using the GPS!
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
Did you get the new cable? You would notice the splice towards the phone end, the old one didn't have that, it also puts the phone in dock mode where the old one didn't.
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Yes, I did.

I've exhausted myself searching and asking around the last few days with help installing and running Ubuntu. I now have one last step before I bug everyone with questions about compiling. I need to tether my phone to Ubuntu, nothing has worked yet except for EasyTether, and that was a nightmare. It would have taken hours or days to sync the repo or whatnot. Wireless Tether for root users is not working natively like everyone says, so I'm here begging for help. Any insight into what I could do to get internet access on Ubuntu through my phone?

I wouldn't think you would have to downgrade the OS just for a driver. You should be able to access previous Ubuntu repositories. However, Canonical did gimp 11.10 a bit by excluding Synaptic be default.

Im wondering if there keeping a log of all users that are registered on the HTC dev. Due to the token and watermark. Because if they are they could tell sprint or asurion that you were rooted tho sprint would know due to the S relocked. Sprint really doesn't care tho :D most of the techs are on board with root.

Hopefully there is another method to root soon.

I know the ICQ thing was trackin stuff in the past and sprint shut it down wouldn't be something new if HTC snuck something in.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigitalKaizer:
I switch ROMs a lot. And the way I want my ringtones set up, currently takes a lot of effort.

I have about 50 contacts. I usually set 5-10 of them with a specific ringtone.

But what I would REALLY like, is there to be a generic ringtone for "all CONTACTS" and then another ringtone (Default) for NON-CONTACTS.

So if my phone rings with the default ringtone, in theory, is someone I don't know or has never called me before. But I don't want to filter out all unknown callers, because sometimes I do still need to answer it for a noncontact.

I'd just like to know when I hear the phone ring.

Now in the past, I've gone through the effort of setting a ringtone for each individual contact, but when you reflash your phone at least once a month, this feels like it's more effort than it should be.

I feel like it should only take a simple app or mod that'll go

IF CONTACT IN DATEBASE: Ringtone A

IF CONTACT NOT IN DATABASE: Ringtone B

Is that really so much to ask?

But my efforts to search the market don't leave me with anything like this in app form.

I've also tried contact groups. But that requires you to have duplicate contact entries. The ones loaded into the phone memory and the ones sync'd from your google account. Which is pretty much just as much work if not more.

Because;

I could simply export them to a card file, import them to phone memory and set the groups in a bout 5 minutes. But then if I don't want to see all the names twice (which I don't), I have to go into each contact and select "join contact"

Which is about as bad as setting a ringtone per contact.

Perhaps I'm a little too OCD. But I'm OCD and also an obsessed geek who watches too much Stargate SG-1 / SGA, and I take the Gate = Phone analogy a little too far.

So my ringtones are this:

Noncontact: [SFX] Unscheduled Off-World Activation.] What have we got? [We're not sure ma'am, we're not receiving and IDC] Defense teams standby! Lower the shield! [SFX]

Generic Contact: [SFX] Off-World Activation. Receiving IDC. [Lower shield/open iris] [SFX]

Specific Contact: [SFX] Off-World Activation! Receiving [X-Person's] IDC! [Lower shield/open iris] [SFX]

etc etc etc.

PS. I have an Epic 4G (keyboard) on Sprint. Currently running latest official stock build, however I just came off of ACS ICS 5.5

and am considering reflashing that or going back to FrozenSyndacite 1.2
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon_76:
I have wanted this ability since custom ringtones have existed and I have yet to find a phone application that has a ringtone for "unknown caller". All I can advise is ask the developer of your favourite 3rd party phone app to add it. I filed bug reports with Google during cupcake and donut and they were never addressed.

Cheers!

[Optimus One, P500, V General] brotherswing:
I've been thinking about the OV's that get bricked by way of factory reset after rooting and roming with the wrong recovery. When the phone can only be recognized in emergency mode by the PC, it's a brick. As I've been given to understand, at that point the only thing that can be done for it is to stuff some Optimus S firmware down it's gullet. What separates the firmware for the two? Is there any way to strip out the radio from the flash? (That's what nerfs it, right?) If so, I was thinking we could use a ROM meant for the S, hacked to remove whatever elements would nerf a V's radio, just to get up and running enough to push the correct recovery. If that were possible, it would save a few good phones.

So, am I just being naive? Or would this be possible?
